| Tags: Car News, Pontiac |
| Jalopnik reports: First Pontiac G8 Rolls Off Holden Assembly Line. Not for nothing, but are folks lining up for Pontiacs nowadays? The kids sure ain't-a talking about 'em (even the Solstice isn't being talked about much). So, GM and Holden take another swing in Pontiac stadium to see if they can do better than the previous questionable foul ball. |

| The Detroit News reports: Ford rolls out summer sales rebates. Poor Ford. No interest financing, big rebates... What's next? A serious attempt at rolling back those huge-ass vehicles for more practical rides? No! It's another serious rebate to reflect the somber mood of having to offer more money back on a series of vehicles that are otherwise not |

We generally agree with the list, but we think the whole built-in DVD stuff is wicked cool and should be on the must have. It's hard to choke up the $2k for navigation |

| Jalopnik reports: Spy Photos: 2008 Honda Accord. Dammit, come on, Honda. We expect more from you. And this isn't a knock on Hyundai ('cause they are kicking arse all over the place), it's more an issue with the lack of imagination from the folks at Honda. They've done such a great job with the Civic, Fit and CR-V (which is hellasnazzy) that we're |

| Well, maybe. No! Edmunds reports: Cadillac 2-mode hybrids being rumored. No! Look, Cads... Can we call you Cads? Lexus is indeed a worthy foe, but just because they are making silly hybrids doesn't mean you should, too. Let Lexus make those silly things while we refine, refine, refine your gasoline engines. If you want to go for a surprise, come |

| AutoWeek reports: Helping Hummer. Even if GM was to somehow, miraculously double a Hummer's fuel economy, it would still be shite. The H2, by GM's estimate, averages 14 mpg. So now we'd be talking 28. Party time! Although we're pretty sure no one buys a Hummer H2 with fuel economy in mind. Glacier melting, sure. Fuel economy? No. |

| The PAG makes some purty cars, but the division is losing money (like the rest of Ford). But, like we just said, the cars are decent, so some company will (be foolish enough) to buy one or all of the pieces. This of course, comes as no surprise to us since in August 2006 we wrote in our Ford Is A Mess postWant to know what Ford is going to |
